It is quite easy for C++ and Rust to both be faster than C in things larger than toy projects. C is hardly a panacea of efficiency, and the language makes useful things very hard to do efficiently. You can contort C to trick it into being f

Well, Nissan also raised the base price by ~$30k without really changing much of anything. It was a bargain at the original $70k price point. At the current $100k+ (or over $200k for the nismo!) not so much.

well the dct in the r35 specifically is made of $20,000 glass that cannot handle factory power with factory launch modes and Nissan yanked warranty support after the fact. So that transmission specifically is definitely to be avoided.

Uh.... I must be missing something here, because you're hyping up Apple's NPU only to show it getting absolutely obliterated by the equally old 3090? Your 10900K having 64gb of RAM is also irrelevant here...

5,500 easily gets me either vastly more CPU cores if I care more about that or a vastly faster GPU if I care more about that. Or for both a 9950x + 5090 (assuming you can actually find one in stock) is ~$3000 for the pair + motherboard, lea

I don't think you can frame it as "adverse ISPs". I mean in some respects yes, but also IPv6 made the assumption that networks want to be shallow & wide, yet that's not where we've ended up. Rather, we now tend
